Striated bedrock, Greenland.
These different glaciers produce a wide range of different landforms and landscapes, at a range of scales.

For example we can consider landforms and landscapes of erosion ranging from individual glacial striaions (made where the ice drags boulders or pebbles across the bedrock) to huge areas of scoured and polished topography, and including the "text-book" scale landforms such as U-shaped valleys, corries, and pyramid peaks.
